replacing 120mm big typhoon fan

[icbluscrn]

first i am very happy with the big typhoon the way it comes stock But id like to get a new 120mm with better flow just to see if I can overclock more. I read that panaflo are the "rage" these days but cant find a palce that carries a 120mm.
The only thing it will need is the mobo conector.


Thanks in advance

110CFM
800 ~ 2400rpm

This looks sweet.

was looking into that but it has no 3 or 4 wire mobo connector plus it seems loud at 40dB.

That is exactly what I have before my water cooling. No it's not loud at, 40dB is at the max speed of over 100cfm. You only need medium speed to cool the Thermaltake Big Typhoon. You can hook it up with 4-pin molex connection and comes with a speed controller. This is the best 120mm fan you can get today.

The larger fans would draw to much power for the motherboard to handle, I would assume.
Some can draw about 6 watts, 5.4w for this one.
It has the yellow wire to connect to the mobo for fan RPM.
17dBA at 800rpm, 39.5dBA at 2400rpm

Looks better than Thermaltake's fans.

Yes, there are 3 & 4 pin wires. Any and all fans are loud at full speed especially if it is rated at 110CFM. Slowing down the RPMs will reduce the noise.

SVC.com sells a few 120mm Panaflos that ranges between 30dBA and 45dBA.
